Scouting has "Control Below Average" but that number is a 12 currently which is above a control below average. Also, this guy was a POT 13 and jumped well into POT 14 with the last training update. My Diamond in the rough find!! I would be curious to see others with players that did similar things.

I'm curious whether he ends up playing up to these newly revealed skills, or whether his stats end up reflecting more of a 13 potential player. Might bookmark to check in from time to time.

I'd estimate 3-5% of players seem to but their POT rating by a point or two, but its very rare to see the other ratings bust by more than 1 point.

Orellana will likely gain a few more SI before starting to lose speed and/or range as early as this off-season. Great player who will unfortunately have a very short peak to his career.

He's almost capped out (12 pot) and while his only scouting reports are outstanding fielding and above average potential it would appear that he's a good/very good hitter and above average slugger, too.
